Scales. I suggest cycling each one until it's very comfortable then try cycling two, then three etc.
The triads give you more freedom to flat the 7th and experiment with different scales.
Major Chords Chromatic 4 bars each
Major 7 Chords Chromatic 4 bars each

Hello d flat, when I click on "practice charts" I do not see an icon in the forum to download it...do I have to load all of the separate lists in the comments sections or is your "practice charts" accessible in one place? Thank you, mark
Hello Mark, currently they are throughout this thread where they have been uploaded by different members. Just download the ones you want to work on - some are simple, others more complicated.
Have fun with them

Close Enough For Love - some alternate changes
Here are some progressions for those pianists who play like they've had too many Red Bulls (you know who you are...)
Close Enough For Love (1st 12 Bars) with apologies to Johnny Mandel

Double Bass>Left Hand > Strength/Stretch/Position exercises
I'm a woodwind teacher that started playing upright bass a year and a half ago.
These exercises have been very helpful to me.
I think it's clear what to do.
Most exercises are in one position so you can concentrate on getting good hand form and good pitch(stretch)
I've added notes on which strings to use.
This could also be helpful for fretless players .
*5.Bass Chord Finder Finger Exercise does have a lot of shifts so start it slow at first.
Transposing up the neck makes it easier as does starting on the A string vs the E string.
Bass Exercises-Hand Strength Stretch (5)

Doug's Subs Doug 2-5subs
Minor Major - I used this alot with guitar students.. a beautiful Am9 with only 2 fingers sliding up 1 fret for a beautiful Amaj9.. but for my alto students I put it in Dm and D maj. so that on alto its Bm and B maj. to give a good way to learn B maj. on a sax - a key rarely seen ( except in some old bebop tunes maybe).. enjoy
